Abstract: In the design of the power system of a high-altitude airship (HAA), the principal target is to satisfy the needs of the power demand and achieve the best balance of minimum weight and maximum reliability. To handle this ...

Abstract: The problem of horizontal-plane tracking control of an omnidirectional, four vectored-thruster aerostat subjected to actuator failure is considered. The actuator failures result in the aerostat’s becoming underactuated, ...
